The distance covered by an object accelerating from rest is

D = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)² .

In this particular case, 'acceleration' is 9.8 m/s² ... due to gravity.

D = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (1.67 s)²

D = (4.9 m/s²) · (2.789 s²)

D = 13.67 meters

An example of constant velocity

pashok25 [27]

Some examples of constant velocity (or at least almost- constant velocity) motion include (among many others): • A car traveling at constant speed without changing direction. A hockey puck sliding across ice. A space probe that is drifting through interstellar space.

In a certain city, electricity costs $0.20 per kw·h. what is the annual cost for electricity to power a lamp-post for 8.00 hours

UNO [17]

Part a)

per day electricity power consumed when 100 W bulb is used for 8 hours

$P = 8 * 100 = 800 Wh$

for one year consumption

$E = 365 * 800 = 292 kWH$

now the cost will be given

$cost = 0.20 * 292 = $ 58.4$

now when other energy efficient light is used

$P = 8 * 25 = 200 Wh$

for one year consumption

$E = 365 * 200 = 73 kWH$

now the cost will be given

$cost = 0.20 * 73 = $ 14.6$

With 51 gallons of fuel in its tank, the airplane has a weight of 2390.7 pounds. What is the weight of the plane with 81 gallons

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer: 2561.7 pounds

Explanation:

If we assume the total weight of an airplane (in pounds units) as a <u>linear function</u> of the amount of fuel in its tank (in gallons) and we make a Weight vs amount of fuel graph, which resulting slope is 5.7, we can use the slope equation of the line:

$m=\frac{Y-Y_{1}}{X-X_{1}}$ (1)

Where:

$m=5.7$ is the slope of the line

$Y_{1}=2390.7pounds$ is the airplane weight with 51 gallons of fuel in its tank (assuming we chose the Y axis for the airplane weight in the graph)

$X_{1}=51gallons$ is the fuel in airplane's tank for a total weigth of 2390.7 pounds (assuming we chose the X axis for the a,ount of fuel in the tank in the graph)
